So its a bank with video calling where you can also get laid and read right wing misinformation, that is a lot of checked boxes
No. It’s a platform, which can load custom HTML-ish apps, like WeChat (very successful in being a platform) or Telegram (not very successful yet at being a platform).
All Spacebaby is saying is “I have an audience, let’s address it with everything and charge an access fee for companies accessing it”. I very much doubt he sees Twitter creating all these things, just providing a platform that allows others to do so while seeking rent.
He’s imagining the sort of closed off internet like what you see in China. I’m sure the ultimate purpose is that he can censor anyone calling him a Spacebaby. What a Spacebaby!
People would have to be nuts to build anything on his platform after he killed all third party Twitter clients and ruined the Twitter API. That's not how you build trust.
